Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor long is murdering a man in hospice that has begged and pleaded with him to stop. This man is not terminal. The staff along with doctor long at Lourdes hospice are pure evil. I have video to prove this. There is a man there that can be treated and is in Hospice by mistake. They are OVERDOSING HIM WITH LARGE AMPUNTS OF PAIN MEDS WHILE SEDATING HIM!!! THE MAN NEEDS ANTIBIOTICS NOT TO BE EUTHANIZED LIKE A AN ANIMAL!!! DOCTOR LONG AND HIS ASSISTED MURDERING STAFF NEED TO BE IN PRISON NOT CARING FOR PUR LOVED ONES!!!!!

I have been going to Docter Long almost as long as he has been practicing. I have had some serious health issues in the past and have some now. I am now 73 and he has been my doctor since he has been in Paducah. I cannot say enough good things about him.
